Quartet For The End of Time

55 Norfolk Street, Sheffield, S1 1DA

Description

Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time is the centrepiece of this concert showcasing music to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War and the liberation of the internment, concentration and death camps of Europe.

Considered one of the 20th century’s greatest works, Messiaen composed the Quartet while a prisoner of war in the Stalag VIII-A camp. As Steven Osborne writes, “the music seems to touch the far edges of human experience”. Also featured in the programme is Gideon Klien’s folk-infused String Trio, composed just ten days before Klien was transported from Terezín to Auschwitz, and Leo Smit’s lyrical and profoundly expressive Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano.
